In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom semi-detached house in LE10 from £1,100 a month to £1,150 a month. The tribunal determined that the rent should be £1,100 a month from 1 July 2025, starting from an open market figure of £1,200 a month for the property in good tenantable condition. It made deductions totalling £100 a month, £40 for the condition of the property and £60 for the tenant's liability to decorate internally, after noting cracking, condensation mould, a boiler leak, rat damage and draughts at its inspection.
